Someone has just nominated Robert Reuschlein for the Nobel Peace Prize.  Alfred Nobel's Will says "to the person who shall have done the most or best work …..for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and …."  Nothing argues for the reduction of standing armies better than solid proof that military spending reduces economic growth each year by the amount of the military spending of a nation in that year.  Nothing makes a nation vulnerable to others faster than a high military stagnant economy over a period of several decades.  Now is the time to add your own voice for his nomination by the February 1 deadline to get the attention of the Nobel Committee.  Professors and directors of peace institutes are qualified to nominate.  Privacy is maintained by the committee for fifty years, details below.

The First Nomination 1/24/16

Dear Nobel Prize Committee,

It is my great pleasure to nominate Professor Robert Reuschlein for the Nobel Peace Prize in Economics.  Professor Reuschlein, Known as Dr. Peace, works out of the Real Economy Institute located in Madison, Wisconsin, USA.  He is also the author of "Useful Peace Economics." 

https://bobreuschlein.wordpress.com/2016/01/16/useful-peace-economics/

Professor Reuschlein has worked tirelessly to expose the myths about military spending in the USA.  His body of work effectively shows that increased military spending leads to lower manufacturing jobs; also influences heath and crime statistics (negatively); and leads to a vanishing middle class; and eventually the fall of the US empire.

I believe Professor Reuschlein is deserving of your consideration.  He can be contacted by e-mail:   bobreuschlein@gmail.com.

Very Sincerely,

Jerry Rust

Lane County (Oregon) Commissioner 1977-1997

Professor of English, Literature, Public Speaking and Culture at

Ningbo University, Zhejiang Province, China.

Reasons to Nominate

This page of high accuracy correlations has eight of the thirteen key measurements within one percent of perfection.  Together with good logic and internal consistency, this makes for a compelling new way to evaluate the enormous true domestic cost of armies.  This makes the need to reduce armies especially urgent.

Movement Building

Just as psychologists and religious people can see how the self-destructive seeds of hate consume a person, the self-destructive seeds of empire can be recognized by some but are very poorly understood by many. This gives rise to many amateur interpretations by many with the partial knowledge of just their own academic fields, philosophies, or religions.  It will probably take a very strong social movement to overcome the inertia and false ideology of empire.  Such a movement would get a great boost if Robert Reuschlein's Peace Economics was widely recognized due to being nominated for the Nobel Prize.  Please consider doing so.
